Introduction: The author had work on population projection for states of North east Region (NER), but yet no study has been done on the various economic implications on the projected population. Hence, the present study can be an extended to emphasize on the implication of the projected population on some of the economic indicators of the region.

Methodology: The labor force, new job requirements and GDP per capita, are projected over a period of 20 years from 2011 to 2031 for states of North east India, by utilizing RAPID module of SPECTRUM package developed by of Future Group International for projection

Findings: The findings reveals that during the period of projection, labor force of NER would increase for Arunachal Pradesh by 33.17%, Assam is 45.70%, Manipur is 46.69%, Meghalaya is 53.69%, Mizoram is 12.48%, Nagaland is 59.85%, Sikkim is 42.18% and for Tripura is 71.35%. And, as for the new jobs required by the various states, the need of new jobs for Arunachal Pradesh decreases by 93.97%, for Assam by 32%, for Manipur by 31.26%, for Meghalaya by 68.44%, for Mizoram by 95.83%, for Nagaland by 71.73%, for Sikkim by 93% and for Tripura by 53%.

Application: As far as GDP Per capita is concerned, the indicator would increase for all states of North East in Arunachal Pradesh by 164.46%; Assam by 86.12% , Manipur by 60.53% , Meghalaya, will experience a hike of 15.42%, ; Mizoram an increase of 256% . As for the states of Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura the GDP per capita, has been projected to increase by 77.02%, 139.73% and 169.42% respectively.
